Audio in Storyline

Jan 18, 2016

I am creating an eLearning module and I am using markers. I want audio to play when a marker is clicked, which I know how to do; however, all of the audio is in just one file. Can the audio editor in Storyline break up the file into separate files? Otherwise I'm not sure how I can make this interaction work. I don't have an audio editor on my PC.

Sure. I opened up a new instance of Storyline 2, started a new blank project and copied the audio in.

I needed the audio broken into 5 pieces so I added 5 layers. I copied the audio into each layer and edited the audio in each layer as normal so I had each separate chunk of audio in each layer. I also named them to keep them in line with what I needed.

Once I had the edited audio files, I copied and pasted them back into my project and then added triggers to the markers to play the corresponding audio file when the marker is clicked.

Hope this is helpful.
